Cuboidal epithelial cells are fragile, flat and scale-shaped, and specialized for the diffusion of small molecules. A single layer of epithelial cells is described as simple epithelia. The lining of the skin is composed of simple squamous epithelial tissue. Because of its highly vascular network of capillaries, epithelial tissue provides the nutrients for the underlying connective tissues. Simple columnar epithelial cells are found lining the stomach. A stratified squamous epithelium is found where mechanical stresses are severe. Epithelial tissue continually repairs and renews itself. The transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder permits the frequent distension and recoil.arrow_forwardDistinguish the four major classes of connective tissues based on:a) the type of connective tissue cells; andb) the characteristics and amount of intercellular matrixarrow_forward
